Meadowlands: Friday night racing cancelled

Due to the forecasted extreme heat, the Meadowlands Racetrack and the SBOANJ have made the decision to cancel live racing for tonight, Friday, July 3.

“The health and safety of both our equine and human participants is of the utmost importance to us,” stated Jason Settlemoir, COO & GM of the Meadowlands Racetrack. After speaking with the Mark Ford and the SBOA early this morning, we made the smart decision to cancel.”

The Meadowlands Racetrack, the FanDuel Sportsbook, and Winners Bayonne will remain open for simulcasting and sports wagering.

Regarding those horses that had entered tonight’s first leg of the Kindergarten Series. Any horse entering a designated point earning series event which is not raced will receive SEVEN (7) points towards qualifying for the Final, plus credit for a start toward fulfilling any minimum number of starts requirement and toward tiebreaker “a” regarding eligibility for the finals.

Live racing is scheduled for Saturday, July 4 at 6pm. The all stakes card features a lone elimination for the Meadowlands Pace, along with two Graduate Finals, the Dave Brower Memorial, Perfect Sting, JL Cruze and Six Pack.
